Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

What is it?

Why are you wandering about out here?

Your face is all screwed up.

Guan Guan babe! Ying Ying! Are you home?

That's so mushy. Rewind and say it differently.

Guan Guan, my dad belittled me.

He said one thing but did another.

Who knew that he favors sons over daughters?

He praises me but then gives my brother money in private.

What should I do?

I feel so sad.

How has your dad belittled you?

Does he still want you to call him Dad?

Unfriend him.

Go on a hunger strike.

Why do I think that sounds like a mockery?

It's just a self-torturing ruse.

That won't do. My ruse is just to screech at my dad.

I'll screech till my voice goes hoarse.

Guan Guan babe.

Where have you gone on your business trips?

Which hotels?

Did any clients give you a treat?

I came over last night to ask you out.

You weren't home so I was terribly upset.

Don't keep hugging me.

This is so mushy.

- Andie. - What is this about?

You're not closing your door?

You're making a fuss again?

I'm not. I'm just upset.

Xiao Mei, why aren't you going in?

There's an issue at home so I'm waiting for a call.

Thank you.

Wang Bai Chuan's told me.

You referred him to VP Bao.

It's nothing.

Business is business.

Bao Yi Fan said that he'd arrange to have Wang Bai Chuan's samples tested soon.

Jeez...

Wang Bai Chuan is good at seizing opportunities.

Sheng Mei, you're really something.

VP Bao hasn't got the girl yet but he's already doing her a favor.

Don't make it sound so bad.

Xiao Mei didn't even know about it when Wang Bai Chuan asked me.

Qu Xiao Xiao.

I'm in a terrible mood today.

I don't have the strength to put up with you.

You'd better not annoy me.

What will you do to me?

Stab me a couple of times?

- All right now. - What are you doing?

- Come on. - It's all right.

- Let go of me! - She's always like that.

- Stop talking. - Just pretend that she's crazy.

You hear me? I'm in a bad mood.

Why did you hit me?

Let go of me!

- Get her inside. - Let go of me!

- Let's go. - Let go of me!

Be good. Sit.

Behave.

I'm really annoyed.

I'm very annoyed!

You're all still picking on me?

Are we friends?

Who doesn't have any worries?

Why would you pick on others when you're troubled?

My dad favors his son over me.

He gave lots of money for my brother to squander.

But he's have me run my small company and work hard to make a living.

How is that fair?

What difference is there between him and Fan Sheng Mei's parents?

Hey, here are two people standing before you.

There's Guan Guan.

If she stays to work in her hometown

she would have the house and car that her parents bought her

as well as a highly paid job.

But she decided not to depend on her parents.

Then there's me.

I'm an orphan. There's no one to provide me with anything.

I still lead my life well.

Do you think that we'd sympathize with you?

Then there's Fan Sheng Mei.

She's having a far worse life than yours.

You're in a bad mood but why would you take it out on her?

Stay here and reflect on yourself.

Guan Guan, listen.

I read some books a few days ago that suit you.

- This is really good. - Thank you.

You never recommend any book to me.

This one.

I've highlighted some parts for you.

There are many of them.

Take a look.

You're all bad people.

Where's Xiao Qiu? She's not home?

She has a new boyfriend now.

We know how it was with her and Asshole Bai.

So...

I've met her new boyfriend once.

He's quite honest looking.

Let's hope that she meets a good guy this time.

Hello?

How did it go?

It's finally all set.

I had a friend act as a sales agent doing promotional offers for supermarkets.

He sent a sample package over.

He said that those are samples for the residents.

There are rice, noodles, and oil.

There are also some snacks and instant noodles.

That's enough to last them for days.

I even got a friend who doesn't know you to do it.

He had your mom do a survey.

It looked as if it's true.

Your mom will never know that the food was from you.

You're right. This is such a good plan.

How did you come up with that?

I knew that you can definitely handle it well.

You're awesome, Wang Bai Chuan!

I...

What concerns you, concerns me.

How can I not make an effort?

Fortunately, we have friends to help out.

He went over there right away.

Luckily, your mom didn't find it suspicious.

You're lucky.

Even the gods are on your side.

It isn't. It's because you came up with such a good plan! I mean it.

By the way, Andie told me that

VP Bao would arrange to have your samples tested soon.

I owe that to you as well.

VP Bao only agreed to help for your sake.

All right now, stop crying.

It's all settled now.

Your mom will learn a lesson.

She's been hungry for a few days so now she won't give away

all her money to your brother without considering the consequences anymore.

She knows that you're resolute.

I know.

You're right.

Bai Chuan, you're really awesome!

I can't keep praising you or you'll get cocky.

Xiao Mei...

How I wish I could be by your side right now.

We'll see each other tomorrow, right?

I'll pick you up for work tomorrow morning.

Don't.

Don't pick me up. I can take the subway.

You've had such a hard time these days.

Get some good rest.

Have a good sleep.

Good night.

Okay.

Qiu Ying Ying worries for nothing.

I only tackled Asshole Bai for her sake.

This new guy looks decent.

Why would I sound him out?

She's so wary of me.

- Is that necessary? - It is.

You're such a troublemaker so it's right that she is wary of you.

Exactly. I think that Ying Ying really likes Ying Qin.

You mustn't stir up any trouble.

See?

All of you take sides with Fan Sheng Mei and Qiu Ying Ying.

You're all bullying me!

What should I do?

My mom is calling me!

She's definitely calling to ask about me and Shu Zhan's progress.

What should I tell her?

What am I to tell her?

Auntie!

I'm Xiao Guan's neighbor, Xiao Xiao.

Yes, that's right.

Guan Guan is in the shower.

Why have you called?

Get her to call you back?

Sure, definitely.

Auntie, here's what.

We had dinner with Shu Zhan a few days ago.

That kid is a spendthrift.

He spends money more generously than I do.

His paycheck can't even cover it.

He is quite an honest kid.

However, he's quite bottled up inside.

When he saw me and Andie, he keeps leering at us.

Hey!

Auntie, Guan Guan is out of the shower.

You can talk to her.

Hello, Mommy.

That shouldn't be.

Your dad and I both approve of that Shu Zhan.

He's a well educated MBA graduate.

Why does he sound so terrible now?

Have you ganged up with your neighbors to lie to us?

Mommy, Xiao Xiao told you nothing but the truth.

I feel the same way as Xiao Xiao.

Guan Guan, I know that you don't like blind dates.

But you can't accuse him just because you don't want to date him.

- It's wrong to do so. - Why would I accuse him?
